Chapter 1857 - Ge Ge, Do You Hate Me?

Pei Ge lightly harrumphed. “Do you think there’s a need for me to return to the Qu family?”

All the guests would know what Old master Qu was thinking and it was too obvious. Today’s birthday banquet was the simplest way to win people’s hearts. Old master Qu wanted a suitable partner to bring Qu Corporation back on track.

“Ge Ge, I…”

Old master Qu wanted to speak but stopped. Looking at Pei Ge’s eyes, he could not deny that she was right. However, looking at so many people, he hesitated.

He had finally managed to find his granddaughter who had been exposed to the outside world, but he did not expect that it would be at this moment.

Old lady Qu, who had been with him for decades, was taken away by the police at his birthday party, although the reason was that Old lady Qu had done so many wrong things behind his back.

And among these things include his wife back then.

All these years, Old master Qu had wondered if that woman was doing well outside. However, today, he realized that she was not doing well after she left Qu family.

Otherwise, with Pei Ge and Ji Ziming’s influence, it would not be difficult for them to have a reputation in the capital. However, it was all too late.

“Ge Ge, do you hate me?”

Old master Qu asked Pei Ge seriously. Before he could decide if he should take the necklace from her, he seemed to have seen the future of Qu Group.

If Qu Group could no longer survive in the capital, Old master Qu would be very satisfied looking at the two people beside Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua.

“Why should I be nice to you? How did you treat me, my grandma, and my mom? All these years, I don’t hate you so much, but it’s impossible for me to say that I don’t hate you too. You’re partially responsible for my happy family. How should I put it? It’s hard to say. Why don’t you tell me whether I should hate you or not?”

Pei Ge raised her hand and the necklace in her hand was shining. Seeing that Old master Qu could not take it, she retracted her hand. However, her hand felt cold. How could it be so easy to hate someone?

“I feel that you should hate me. In this smokeless war, I’m the one who should be imprisoned the most. Old lady Qu merely followed my wishes and became unscrupulous in the capital. However, I never thought of ruining your happiness and I never thought of making you return to the Qu family. Although I hope that you will return, I know that you might not be willing to return so soon.”

Old master Qu’s eyes flashed with heartache. After so many years, although he was not clear about what Old lady Qu did behind his back, he knew that this woman must be doing something shameful.

However, Old master Qu did not probe further about the exact reason why it was shameful.

However, this time, Old lady Qu actually targeted Old master Qu. He made Ji Ziming and Qu Xiujie appear in the ward together to raise his attention.

“Do you mean that I should hate you and not hate you? Since it’s so difficult to hate and not hate someone, why should I keep living in pain?”

Pei Ge pursed her lips and smiled at Old master Qu. She knew that he would definitely think this way. If this cowardly man could show some courage, he would not be so indifferent to the accident that happened to his grandmother and mother when they were young.

“Ge Ge, don… don’t hate me.”

Old master Qu’s voice became so soft that only Ji Ziming and Pei Ge could hear him.

“Old master Qu, I don’t hate you.”

Pei Ge suddenly laughed out loud, her cold eyes appearing exceptionally cold.

All these years, the only person she hated was Old lady Qu. Now that she had sent her to prison, it was time for everything to end. All these years, all she wanted was to stay here and be by her side.

“Old master Qu, it seems like you’ve miscalculated. Only the person who is important to her, Ge Ge, would hate you so much. From the looks of it now, you don’t have any importance to speak of. I advise you to forget it. Ge Ge doesn’t lack the status of being the Qu family’s eldest daughter.”

Qu Xiujie stood at the side with his arms crossed and Mao Nana’s eyes were filled with tenderness.

“Shut up. Did I ask you to speak?”

Old master Qu suddenly had a temper and when he heard Qu Xiujie’s voice, he became irritable.

“Old master Qu, my uncle is right. You are not that important to me. In fact, you are not as close to me as an ordinary person. I thank you and grandma for giving birth to my mother. It is because of this that I am born.”

Pei Ge pursed her lips. Her pink lips were full of purity as she exuded a sense of alienation. She looked at Old master Qu who was standing opposite her with confusion.

“Ge Ge, you’ve already acknowledged your uncle, yet you’re still unwilling to acknowledge me?”

Old master Qu felt sad. He seemed to have become someone that no one wanted to receive.

“No, I don’t want to acknowledge you. I’ve never felt that blood ties can easily bind someone to me. I want you to understand that I’m grateful that you brought my mother to this world, but that’s just a reason. If you want to find someone to take care of you in the future, then I have no problem. I don’t think I’m lacking in money.”

Pei Ge gripped the necklace tightly as beads of sweat started forming on her palms.

How could she hide her hatred for Old master Qu? If not for the fact that she still had a quarter of his blood flowing in her, Pei Ge would have long wanted to have nothing to do with this man.

“Ge Ge, I’m not worried about money. I really want you to return to Qu family. Perhaps, Qu family doesn’t have the ability to express your status as the CEO’s wife, but I really like you. You’re my granddaughter, and you’re the only granddaughter I have in this world.”

Old master Qu frowned and the pitiful look in his eyes stunned Pei Ge.

“Old master Qu, I think you’re mistaken. I’m not your only granddaughter. Miss Qu Jingwan, too.”
